status.relativePaths::

By default, linkgit:git-status[1] shows paths relative to the

current directory. Setting this variable to `false` shows paths

relative to the repository root (this was the default for Git

prior to v1.5.4).

status.short::

Set to true to enable --short by default in linkgit:git-status[1].

The option --no-short takes precedence over this variable.

status.branch::

Set to true to enable --branch by default in linkgit:git-status[1].

The option --no-branch takes precedence over this variable.

status.displayCommentPrefix::

If set to true, linkgit:git-status[1] will insert a comment

prefix before each output line (starting with

`core.commentChar`, i.e. `#` by default). This was the

behavior of linkgit:git-status[1] in Git 1.8.4 and previous.

Defaults to false.

status.renameLimit::

The number of files to consider when performing rename detection

in linkgit:git-status[1] and linkgit:git-commit[1]. Defaults to

the value of diff.renameLimit.

status.renames::

Whether and how Git detects renames in linkgit:git-status[1] and

linkgit:git-commit[1] . If set to "false", rename detection is

disabled. If set to "true", basic rename detection is enabled.

If set to "copies" or "copy", Git will detect copies, as well.

Defaults to the value of diff.renames.

status.showStash::

If set to true, linkgit:git-status[1] will display the number of

entries currently stashed away.

Defaults to false.

status.showUntrackedFiles::

By default, linkgit:git-status[1] and linkgit:git-commit[1] show

files which are not currently tracked by Git. Directories which

contain only untracked files, are shown with the directory name

only. Showing untracked files means that Git needs to lstat() all

the files in the whole repository, which might be slow on some

systems. So, this variable controls how the commands displays

the untracked files. Possible values are:

+

--

* `no` - Show no untracked files.

* `normal` - Show untracked files and directories.

* `all` - Show also individual files in untracked directories.

--

+

If this variable is not specified, it defaults to 'normal'.

This variable can be overridden with the -u|--untracked-files option

of linkgit:git-status[1] and linkgit:git-commit[1].

status.submoduleSummary::

Defaults to false.

If this is set to a non zero number or true (identical to -1 or an

unlimited number), the submodule summary will be enabled and a

summary of commits for modified submodules will be shown (see

--summary-limit option of linkgit:git-submodule[1]). Please note

that the summary output command will be suppressed for all

submodules when `diff.ignoreSubmodules` is set to 'all' or only

for those submodules where `submodule.<name>.ignore=all`. The only

exception to that rule is that status and commit will show staged

submodule changes. To

also view the summary for ignored submodules you can either use

the --ignore-submodules=dirty command-line option or the 'git

submodule summary' command, which shows a similar output but does

not honor these settings.
